The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what information her Department holds on the number of tobacco products bought in (a) 2023 and (b) 2024.
Answered by James Murray
The table below states the estimated tobacco clearances for the calendar years 2023 and 2024:
Year | Cigarette Sticks | Non-cigarette Tobacco Products |
2023 | 17,045 million | 6,497 thousand kg |
2024 | 13,965 million | 5,210 thousand kg |
The totals above are composed of clearances from cigarettes, cigars, hand-rolling tobacco (HRT), other smoking tobacco (also known as pipe tobacco), chewing tobacco, herbal smoking products, and tobacco for heating (TfH).
